party than other the one in which ynm voted at any primary within the pant two years no person who voted at the primary of september 9 1914 can lea-ally change party colors to-day election officials have the old books to check by about 1,500 candidates will have their names on ballots m Illinois to-day but one whose name does not appear on any of the slips will hold the center of the stage what will roosevelt do is the big question m the minds of the colonel's friends and foes alike that will be answered to-day roosevelt himself cannot do much although he may make a showing through the quirk m the presiden tial preference primary law which permits the voter to write m a name draw a neat square m front of it and mark a plain cross m the square roosevelt's admirers may vote for him anyway admirers of roosevelt may do that although he forbade the print ing of his name upon the ballot and disavowed all candidates for dele gates the roosevelt sentiment however will find expression through john maynard harlan designated no pref erence on the republican ballot but avowedly for the colonel if harlan is elected one of the sherman slate candidates for delegate at large will be pushed off this outcome is feared by the sherman managers from the fact that harlan is asking the people to vote for him alone while mayor thompson is asking the same thing and roy o west's adherents are pre pared to vote for only seven sherman candidates ignoring thompson eight delegates at large will be chosen eight delegates at large are to be elected in four Chicago congressional dis tricts the

a military authority as follows 1 general pershing and colonel â€¢ dodd have fulfilled their part of the contract by preventing the escape of villa to the west 2 the inactivity of generals ho â€¢ rera and gutierrez has per mitted villa to escape to the south and southeast 3 villa is now understood to b â€¢ rapidly nearing the section where he may gather around him large reinforcements which will b a menace to anything less than a force of 5,000 american troops 4 general pershing with hit â€¢ present means of subsist ence and without remounting of cavalry can scarcely be expected to continue the pursuit of villa with out great danger to his oomp&rsv tively small and exhausted forces the most troublesome question that confronts the administration grows out of the failure of general carranza to grant formal consent for the use of the railroads and hltf apparent lukewarm military co-oper ation in the pursuit of villa pershing stirs up carranza generals the latter phase of the campaign has become of so much importance according to war department sources that general pershing has been instructed to obtain definitely from carranza the guaranties of co operation that so far have been
